The Thorn Birds undoubtedly gave a perfect answer to themselves and even to fans at home and abroad.
Among the three teams in the LPL, the other teams in the group that the EDG team is in are relatively weak. Therefore, it is difficult to complete the threat to the EDG team under EDG's solid hard power foundation. Currently, EDG has also won two games and is expected to reach the first round.
The group came first.
FPX kneels down twice in a row, and a life-and-death battle is about to greet them. Judging from their first two games, the state is quite worrying. At present, the audience can only hope that they do not want to go to their fourth station "train station". After all, there is no such thing in Germany.
Domestic trains.
During the group stage, some professionals once gave an analysis of the performance of the three LPL teams.
The general meaning is that the playing styles of the three LPL teams have not deviated from the previous version.
In other words, the impact of being one version behind in the domestic playoffs still exists objectively. This is not difficult to see from the FPX team.
The Thorn Birds are the only domestic team in this field that cannot be judged by professionals.
It's really because the Thorn Birds often came up with some non-version popular things before, but they were able to produce unexpected effects by matching them with heroes that were popular in the version.
It’s not like no one has studied it, but if you come from another team, it will be completely boring.
Just like this game, who would have thought that the Thorn Birds would suddenly launch a cold arrow in the group stage and have an extremist mid lane hero like Pike?
The funny thing is that when Parker and gems are paired together, the chemical reaction produced has already made the whole world look at them.
Some teams began to hesitate and think deeply about whether they should consider stealing another's skills.
The individual teams here refer to those teams that are not very strong originally and have tactical problems, but the personal abilities of the players are not very weak.
After all, the existence of gems greatly improves the success rate of the hero Pike in starting a team.
In the past, Parker either cooperated with his teammates to enter the field.
Or just rely on yourself to win the prize.
The success rate of lottery drawing is appallingly low.
But it's different when paired with gems. As long as the two of them cooperate and the timing is right, it is a very simple matter for any Pike player to create a non-moving target in Q.
As long as teammates press in early when Pike crosses E to close the distance with the opponent, they will have enough advance time to follow up Pike's control and supplement the output.
Totally worth a try!
However, most of the strong teams secretly cursed the Thorn Birds countless times in this game.
Objectively speaking, weak teams, especially those who know that their hard power is not as good as other teams in the same group, are more willing to give it a try and try some unpopular things.
The thorn bird has opened a door to a new world for them.
In the current version where red side BP is already stretched thin, some teams whose BP suffered setbacks due to side separation issues in the first round have now regained hope.
Those who were red in the first round will definitely be assigned to the blue side in the next round.
Or try the black technology pioneered by Thorn Bird yourself.
Or, your opponent just obediently gives me a ban position.
Considering the World Championship schedule, the error tolerance rate is still relatively low.
Strong teams are unwilling to face this kind of risk.
How they hope that the weaker teams will meet them in the first round and play them in the second round.
…
The first round of competition was all over, and Li Luo attended the post-match interview session for the first time.
Although the main venue is Germany, the host interviews are also conducted in English.
Not surprisingly, Li Luo's fluent English has conquered quite a few European audiences.
Li Luo also seemed very calm during the interview, and the questions were not sharp. Moreover, Li Luo's current number of fans around the world is no less than that of Faker.
When asked which adc Li Luo wanted to meet most in the World Championship, Li Luo smiled shyly and said that he still misses the adcs in the LCK division. If he can successfully qualify, it would be the best.
It allows him to have a close communication with the LCK ad along the way.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene was a little weird.
Whether it was the LCK team in the backstage lounge or the LCK team watching the game in the temporary base because there was no game today, after hearing Li Luo’s answer to this question, everyone from the coaching staff to the players,
Their expressions are rather ugly.
We in Xibal don’t want to meet you!
This is their true inner thoughts.
Bang and Wolf looked at each other and could see the bitterness in each other's eyes.
Although the bottom lane combination of the DWG team has never played against Li Luo, they have some knowledge in their own minds and know that in the current system of the DWG team, the upper midfielder is the real core.
Tactically, it is impossible to focus on the bottom lane.
Under the premise that the bottom lane can only rely on themselves, 2v2, can they compete with the Thorn Birds?
It's very difficult.
But they really want to be tough.
It's just that when the tough words came to my lips, I really couldn't express them.
"He is putting pressure on us not to fall into the trap."
Kkoma's words interrupted bang and wolf's thoughts.
Faker on the side also stepped forward and said: "I believe in you, you are the best bottom laner in my eyes. This time we can definitely take the championship home."
With the encouragement from the coach and Faker, Bang and Wolf's emotions gradually calmed down.
There are advantages to getting older.
That is to be able to calm down.
When he was young, when he heard Li Luo's humble and thorny words, he would have been so angry that he would have practiced for two more hours.
Now...
As long as you can adjust your mentality, it will have a much greater effect than playing those two more ranks.
When Bang was approaching the World Championships, he learned a new method of deep meditation.
This method allowed him to hypnotize himself frequently, and the fear of being dominated by Li Luo for more than two years was dissipated.
This also made Bang a little suspicious. In S7, his method may have been wrong, so meditation had side effects.
Now it seems that it is not a question of meditation.
It's his problem.
Kkoma doesn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally doesn't know that Bang is having such random thoughts in his mind at this time.
…
For LPL fans, today is a happy day.
Not only did the Thorn Birds crush Griffin with a huge advantage, but what worried them the most was that FPX finally won their first victory.
Although the process of this first victory was not a good one for the audience, and it could even be said that the fight was a bit ugly, fortunately, the opponent, Southeast Asia's third seed HKA, was not very strong in terms of hard power, and FPX put up a good performance.
A somewhat shameless lineup...
Finally won the first victory in the S9 World Championship.
doinb's Stone Man even won the MVP of this first victory. At F6, his key wall flash ultimate hit three people, and combined with the sofm inserted from the side, he directly killed HKA's key adc in seconds, becoming
A wave of team battles that sealed the victory.
When the last day of the group stage ended, the Thorn Birds and EDG both handed in perfect answers of 3/0, and the qualifying situation was very good.
Although FPX's 1/2 record is relatively ugly, at least the hope of promotion is still in their own hands.
Especially after the game, doinb’s domineering declaration when facing the interview camera, saying that the team will advance to the knockout rounds without losing a game, inspired countless fans.
At least in terms of momentum, they feel that doinb has no problem. Little Phoenix may really be able to create miracles in the second round.
